A \(150\ \text{g}\) metal block at \(120^{\circ}\text{C}\) is placed into \(250\ \text{g}\) of water at \(20^{\circ}\text{C}\) in an insulated calorimeter. The final equilibrium temperature is \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\). (i) Determine the specific heat capacity \(c_{\text{metal}}\) of the metal (in \(\text{J g}^{-1}\text{°C}^{-1}\)). (ii) If the metal were instead heated to \(200^{\circ}\text{C}\) before being placed in the same water, what would be the new equilibrium temperature? Give your answer to the nearest degree Celsius.

Answer Options

A. c_metal = 0.650 J g^{-1} °C^{-1}; T_final = 35 °C
Correct Answer B. c_metal = 0.774 J g^{-1} °C^{-1}; T_final = 38 °C
C. c_metal = 0.500 J g^{-1} °C^{-1}; T_final = 30 °C
D. c_metal = 0.900 J g^{-1} °C^{-1}; T_final = 42 °C
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
c_metal = 0.774 J g^{-1} °C^{-1}; T_final = 38 °C
